July 11, 2007 - Nintendo's Smash Bros. series is gaining speed as they announced today the release date of one of the most anticipated Nintendo Wii games around. What might this magnificent day be? How about December 3rd of this year? That's right fans boys and girls! The Brawl is finally coming. There are plenty of ways that we will be able to play; some of fan favorites and some that will be new to the series. Those that are going to be joining Mario and his regular ragtag crew are Kid Icarus, Wario, Samus, and my personal favorite: Solid Snake.

Speaking again about those modes for our gaming ease: we will be able to not only use the Wii-mote and Nunchuk combination, but we will also be able to use the classic controller and the GameCube controller, or the Wii-mote, holding it sideways. There is plenty more info that we will be passing along to you in the next few days as we learn as much as we can from this year's E3. Stay tuned to CheatCC!

An all-star cast of the biggest names in the video game world are coming to Wii, to duke it out in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Four styles of gameplay available!

May
10, 2006 - You
wanted it....you got it! Nintendo announced today
via a video announcement trailer that indeed, a new
installment of the insanely popular Super Smash Bros.
franchise would be appearing on the Wii. Oddly enough,
it was Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid that helped
bring the announcement to the masses....and he was
labelled as a newcomer, which means Nintendo is going
after third party companies to get their permission
to use outside characters. How cool is that? Finally
you'll be able to answer the age old question, "Who
would win in a fight between Pikachu and Solid Snake?",
because we know you have nothing better to do with
your time than invent ridiculous matchups. Other newcomers
(with even more to be announced) can be located directly
below. Kid Icarus fans must be busy relieving themselves
in their pants right about now.

Super Smash Bros. Melee creator Masahiru Sakurai,
was approached by Shigeru Miyamoto to create a new
Super Smash Bros. game and Brawl is it. One of the
stipulations that Sakurai had, was that the game was
not to be played with the Wii-mote even though it
would on the Wii system, so gamers will once again
be able to pick up their Cube controllers and have
at it.

There
will be changes to the single player experience although
those weren't revealed, but it did slip that there
would be online play!

For
now check out the screens and be sure to check out
the comical movie trailer for the game....do you think
one of the Nintendogs might be playable? Arf Arf!

Unfortunately
the game won't be ready until 2007, but I'm sure that's
a small consolation for those who thought Nintendo
had abandoned them when Super Smash Bros. wasn't mentioned
during Nintendo's E3 Press Conference. We'll have
more ASAP.
